Where Does Sh-Boom Time Happen at Disneyland Resort?
“Sh-Boom” time happens in Cars Land in Disney California Adventure Park.
We think Cars Land is the best land at Disney California Adventure Park for completely transporting visitors. What does that mean? Well, it is Cars Land, so you could literally say it does transportation well, but we mean something a little different.
When you step into Cars Land, it feels like you have actually been transported to a whole new place. You are not in Disneyland Resort or Anaheim, California. You are not even in a place that exists in our world. Instead, as Mater says in the first Cars film, “You’re in Radiator Springs, the cutest little town in Carburetor County!”
In Cars Land, you can take a spin around the junkyard with Mater, dance with Luigi and his cousins and race with Lightning McQueen. You can also park yourself somewhere comfortable and enjoy the amazing ambiance. The rock work on the horizon looks like it drove straight out of the film, and it sure seems like Flo could zoom into her cafe at any moment. It is all amazing, but some of the very best elements of Cars Land are the neon lights.
What is Sh-Boom Time in Disney California Adventure Park?
We encourage you to visit Cars Land during the day to take in all of the amazing details, but we also urge you to visit after dark to see the neon. Even better, visit as night falls to experience “Sh-Boom Time.”
As the sun sets, Cars Land switches on its neon lights, and they look spectacular. But this is Disneyland Resort, so they are going to take it a step beyond spectacular. As the lights ignite, the sweet sound of “Sh-Boom” performed by The Chords drifts over the land.
This is “Sh-Boom Time.” It mirrors the moment in the film where Lighting McQueen experiences the neon of Radiator Springs lighting up as its residents cruise to “Sh-Boom.”
When Does Sh-Boom Time Happen in Cars Land?
”Sh-Boom Time” is a small but magical moment. It is not a nighttime spectacular like World of Color. You will not find it listed on the entertainment schedule for the day. Instead, “Sh-Boom Time” is a charming interlude for people “in the know” or a sweet surprise for people felicitously in the right place at the right time.
Because “Sh-Boom Time” is not listed in the entertainment schedule for Disney California Adventure Park, we recommend looking up what time the sun sets during your visit. Plan on being in Cars Land just before that time. Then grab a spot anywhere along the “street” to wait for “Sh-Boom Time.” Even better, mobile order a snack from Cozy Cone Motel, and enjoy a treat as Radiator Springs ignites.
